Among all the equeStrienneS Mime

Mrs. EuStiS holds first rank as a grace
full, fearless rider. She handles her
thoroughbred with an easy grace that is
the admiration of all beh0lders, and in
ease of a runaway, q collision with the
motor or other emergency, sits in the
saddle as firm as a rock and never loses
her presence of mind.
Miss May Alden makes a pretty pic
ture Of petite rider on a large. spirited
black horse. On the outskirts, where
speed does not bring down a police
officer, she rides like steeple chaser
and usually leaves her companions far
behind. The other day she cleared
four-board fence in hunting style.
A pretty Nicollet avenue miliiner is
great patron of this exercise. She was
the first graduate of the riding school
and is always referred to by the riding
master as model of courage and grace.
9. w. Shepherd, nearly every other
evening, conveys a stylish riding party,

SATURDAY SCENE.
all the judges, MeSSrS. Lochren, Young,
Rea and Hicks, are expected to hear
some of the cases; that is, if one of the
judges thinks it would be too great a,
strain upon his nerves to hear all of
them. The grind generally begins soon
after o'clock, and it is seldom there is
not morbidly curious crowd of spec
tat0rs on hand, ready to take in all the
filth and stare impudently at the parties
most concerned. In the majority of the
cases which are heard there is no ap-
pearance on the part of the defendant.

companled by one or two friends, of
either sex. and in great many cases
there is present the man whom
she she Will marry as soon as
one unpleasant matrimonial experience
does not discourage a woman, is
shown by the marriage license records.
Thus far this year there has been nine
teen licenses issued to men who in
tended to wed women who had secured
divorces in the same court from which
the license is issued less than one
month previous.
The study OF applicants for divorce is
an interesting one, showing as it does
every side of nature, and bringing the
virtues and vices, the habits and faults
of men and women into full view. In
the majority of cases it is the woman
who is the appellant, and in nine cases
out of ten she either charges desertion,
cruel and inhuman treatment or unfaith-
fulness. Of course there are other
charges, but they seldom are embodied
in the complaint, and less often do they
appear when the case comes to trial
The lack of children is sometimes
made the main cause of action in di-
vorce proceedings, but this is very sell
dom, as the records show that but three
such cases have ever been tried in Min
neapoliS.
If any one desires to see the divorce
machinery of the district court in full
motion, and hear many tale of domes-
tic infelicity, let him go to the court
house some Saturday morning, when
there are large number of cases to be
disposed of, and he can be accommo-

spectators benches, he will see crowd

Exnenses at Yale.

One hundred and four of the 149 men,
bers of the graduating class Of Yale col
lege tell. in the 'S7 Glass Book, what
their college expenses have been. Of
these, fifty-fve have kept expense ac-
counts, and ten have preserved partial
records of their expenditures. The re-
mainder have presumably estimated as
nearly as possible their expenses.
On the basis of these answers, the
average expense of freshman year was
sS34.9S, of sophomore year s931.91, and
the junior year S999.S2. InasmuclI as
the figures are necessarily compiled be-
fore the end of the senior year, an ele-
ment of estimate enters into all senior
expenses. One hundred and eleven men
have given a careful estimate of their
expenses for senior year, of which the
average is sa4s.2S. The highest price
paid by any one for regular board by
the week was 50, while five have paid
s., and one msae eha1nS 20 have boarded
a week on the total outlay of AZ cents.

A Musical Prodigy.

Valley City, Oak, claims the
greatest prodigy in music in the
Northwest. 1t is Blanche Ramer,
the four-year-old daughter of E.
L. Kramer. She plays on the organ or
piano strictly by note, and reads the
notes with surprising rapidity and accu-
racy, and always counts her own time
when playing. Her knowledge and
observance in the playing of rests,
dots, accidentals, and, in fact, ali
the characters used in music is
unsurpassed by any player. Her
first appearance upon the stage occurred
recently in the opera house. before the
largest crowd ever gathered in the city,
which audience she entertained by a
solo on the piano. Blanche's appear
ance on the stage was greeted with loud
and extended applause, when she was
lifted to the piano stool and deliberately
executed, without single mistake or
hesitation, to the establishment of every
body present. a charming solo, then re-
tired amid the cheers of the audience to
little rocking chair with the dignity,
grace and cOmposure that would do
honor to Patti.

And drive with merry song and laugh

Then for the pigs he'd fill the trough
And for the market he would be ongh:
Sometimes his mare would bruiSe her hough
Against fence post or rough.

Which, in drought, was hard to CROUCH.

He'd wander with his gun and slough
And aim at crows he couldn't knough,
Sometimes he'd hunt along the clough
For birds that do not live there nough
And shoot q seagull or clough,
Which he with Joy would proudly slough.
From swampiand, watered by lough
He'd make good pasture for his slough
BY laying here and there Il sough,
While pcrSpiration Yves his brough.
Sometimes snake that shed its slough
Would scare him so he'd run and POUCH

And, careless hough much people scough

cure divorce is to make their COM
plant, pay lawyer and tell their story
in court. But Chicago does not stand
alone in this somewhat peculiar indus
try, and in proportion to her size Mime
polls courts turn out more divorces than
Chicago ever thought of. Just why this
is SO no one appears to know, but it is
probably the effect of the climate, which
has thousand and one other equally
unpleasant things to answer for. Min
neapOliS had some of the most SenSa-

particulars OF them have never reached
the public ear, the case being "too hor-
rible for publication" The court rec
ords. had they power of speech, could
tell many sad story and many ludic-
rouS one. But it is decidedly fortU-
nate thing that they cannot tell the con-
tents OF their pages, or many a house

shame i'll consequence. Applicants
for divorces are not confined
to the lower and middle classes by any
means. Some of the most ariStOcratic
people in the city have told story of

of people generally make an endeavOr
